Department  of  the  Interior, 

Bureau  op  Education, 
Washington,  D.  C,  December  21,  1886. 
The  Honorable 

The  Secretary  op  the  Interior  : 
Sir  :  In  1876  there  was  published  by  this  Office  a  report  entitled  "Public  Libraries 
in  the  United  States."  This  work  contained  a  table  of  public  libraries  numbering 
300  volumes  and  upwards.  There  were  3,647  libraries  mentioned  in  that  liat.  By  the 
publication  of  that  report  a  great  stimulus  was  given  to  the  subject  of  public  libraries, 
and  numerous  additions  have  been  made  to  the  list  from  year  to  year.  My  predeces- 
sor, realizing  that  many  changes  had  occurred  in  ten  years,  had  prepared  for  his  last 
Annual  Report  an  entirely  new  table,  containing  the  latest  and  briefest  information. 
He  obtained  returns  from  5,338  libraries,  showing  an  increase  of  1,691  public  libraries 
in  this  country  in  ten  years.  Eetums  were  not  received  from  a  number,  and  the  in- 
crease will  probably  be  over  1,700. 

A  constant  demand  is  made  on  this  Office  for  the  list  of  public  libraries  in  the  United 
States.  To  avoid  sending  copies  of  the  Annual  Report  containing  this  list,  and  in 
order  that  I  may  be  able  to  supply  such  requests,  I  have  deemed  it  best  to  ask  your 
permission  to  have  printed,  in  a  separate  pamphlet,  those  pages  of  the  Annual  Report 
which  refer  to  this  subject. 

Very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

N.  H.  R.  DAWSON, 

Commisaioner. 
Pablication  approved. 

L.  Q,  C.  T..AMATt, 

Secretary.
